ABSTRACT

This paper presents a rare form of pancreatic malignancy in childhood, pancreatoblastoma, tumor rarely encountered in children and adolescents. This tumor is also very interesting because of differential diagnosis toward other retroperitoneal tumors in children. They are most frequently diagnosed accidentally during clinical or ultrasonographic examination. We are presenting a case of 14 year old girl in whom a tumor was found during the investigation for the dull pain below the left rib margin. Tumor was successfully removed surgically. A 26 months follow-up was without any signs of recurrence of the primary tumor.
